You're Ready for This!

Tie up those boot straps, bring your brain, note pad, sharp knives (you’ll learn to sharpen a dull one), willing hands, all-on courage and take the most fulfilling ride of your life. This course simulates the intensive learning curve that the pros experience. The big win? Stimulate an intensive commitment and emerge with the confidence and courage (the two “C’s” key to any growth) that you would never achieve otherwise. The course culminates with The Big Night—a complimentary five-course menu which you will compose and execute with teammates, and serve at Northwest to your invited guests.

Notes, demonstrations, and kitchen work explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of fine cooking techniques. You learn how chefs think, create, find inspiration, develop trust and instinct, and plate food. A list of dishes and preparations performed is outlined below.

“I feel that this course came for me at the perfect time…..what is that old Daoist saying – the teacher(s) arrive when the student is ready…I have no doubt that I will see the ripple effects of this learning for me for a long time to come.”
